The New Mount Scopus
Today, Mount Scopus is undergoing a dramatic transformation and will quintuple in size by 2050.
Over the coming three decades, the heart of the campus and its new entrance will shift northwards. Seven new buildings will rise on the campus among them a multi-story ultra-modern inpatient tower, a new home for the emergency department and much more.
Master plan for the new Mount Scopus campus
An ambitious master plan has been approved by the Jerusalem District Planning and Building Committee for Hadassah Mount Scopus.
Hadassah’s historic hospital serves Jerusalem’s Northeastern neighborhoods – a heterogenous mix of Jews and Arabs representing approximately one-third of the capital’s population – and residents of the neighboring villages reaching as far as the Dead Sea.
The flagship project will save lives and profoundly improve the quality of life for the residents of Jerusalem and the medical teams working there.
The new Hospital Tower will house 20 inpatient departments, providing up to 720 additional beds for the Mount Scopus Campus.
The tower will feature two triangular-shaped buildings with common support and ancillary services located in a central core, serving both inpatient departments. Each floor will comprise two inpatient departments covering 3,500m2. The building will rise 10 floors above ground and three floors below the entrance level, covering a total of 50,000 m2, with mandatory shelters on each floor and an underground emergency hospital.

The Gandel Rehabilitation Center
Recognizing the shortage of adequate and modern rehabilitation services in Jerusalem and nationwide, the Government of Israel partnered with Hadassah to erect a critical center for recovery in the capital.
The Gandel Rehabilitation Center at Hadassah Mount Scopus is setting a new standard for post-operative and rehabilitative care in Israel.
Opening in 2023, the National Center will dramatically improve the quality of life for thousands of patients and their families as they embark on some of the toughest personal challenges they have ever faced.
“The Gandel Rehabilitation Center is one of the most important projects in healthcare underway in Israel today. Jerusalem is in dire need of rehabilitation facilities, with residents facing extensive delays which impact their chances of recovery,” stated Mount Scopus Director Dr. Tamar Elram.
Designed by Jerusalem-based Spector Amisar Architects, and already at an advanced stage of construction, the state-of-the-art Gandel Rehabilitation Center will rise eight stories with nearly 20,000 m2 of built-up space including 132 beds in four inpatient wings, treatment pools, restaurant and parking.
In a truly inspirational act of empathy and compassion, John and Pauline Gandel, and their family in Melbourne, Australia, have gifted Hadassah, and the people of Jerusalem recovering from accidents, illness, and disease, an ultra-modern, patient-centric facility to rebuild their lives and enable a path back into daily life.
The Center will set the standard for rehabilitative care, serving some of the most vulnerable populations of Jerusalem including victims of terror, the elderly, patients recovering from cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events, post-operative trauma to the spine and limbs, and patients in need of neurological rehabilitation.
